Try this
rename /boot/vmlinuz on hda4 to /boot/vmlinuz-mandrake
rename /boot/vmlinuz on hda2 to /boot/vmlinuz-debian
copy /boot/vmlinuz-mandrake to /boot on hda2 (important)
copy /boot/vmlinuz-debian to boot on hda4 (important)
Make the changes to lilo.conf (of image=) on both dists
rerun lilo on both mandrake and Debian
I once had 3 different dists in one box. The above was the way I got
all 3 to boot. Remember that if you make changes to mandrake or
Debian kernels you have to copy the image to both /boot dirs.
Hope this helps.
